Apple will reportedly release a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 'as early as September', according to Nikkei Asian Review.

The report says that manufacturers have apparently begun making components for the new smartphones including fingerprint sensors and chips for liquid-crystal drivers.

Mass production of LCD panels will start as early as the April-June quarter at Sharp's Kameyama factory, Japan Display's Mobara plant, and at other facilities, according to sources. LG Electronics will supply panels as well. The new handset's display resolution is expected to be significantly higher than that of current models.

It's been widely reported that Apple is working on two larger iPhones; however, recent reports have suggested that perhaps only one of them will be released in September.
